Resistance of carrots to diseases as a factor of increasing production profitability

The main reason for the decline in production of commercial products is the loss of crop during its long storage. From March to July, the difference between demand and production is made up by imported products from near and far abroad. As a result, this leads to an increase in prices relative to the autumn months from April by 44% and from July by 50%, until going of a new crop of domestic products on the shelves. As a result of the conducted research, it is shown that domestic varieties and hybrids due to a higher level of resistance to local populations of pathogens are economically profitable in terms of production costs and crop losses during storage. Growing high-yielding varieties and hybrids of carrots with complex stability, such as Margosha and Shantane 2461, Rif F1 and Nadezhda F1 breeding of FSBSU “Federal Scientific Center of Vegetable Growing” (FSBSU FSCVG) allows for the sale after long-term storage to make a profit of about 240-600 thousand rubles/ha, to achieve profitability of 59-150%. This contributes to solving one of the key tasks - reducing the dependence of the vegetable market on imports and ensuring food security of the Russian Federation.
